"To deter long-distance travel, the band offered an initial presale of tickets for local postal codes only.
#MassiveAttack are giving train travellers special privileges: access to a VIP bar with separate toilets, extra pre-sale tickets and free transfers to and from the train station via electric bus. They are also working with the local train network, Great Western Railway, to lay on five extra trains for travelling fans."

Concerning CrowdStrike:
We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday.
If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

Drastic budget cuts for FOSS, by the EU, and the explanation given is that "because lots of budget are allocated to AI, there is not much left for Internet infrastructure". https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/17/foss_funding_vanishes_from_eus/ So here is one more way that the fever over "AI" bullshit does real harm. Infra projects that protect security, privacy, and other vital needs will be underfunded so that more money can be thrown into the "AI" black hole. Sigh.
I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I am working on starting a project under fiscal sponsorship to teach underserved youth cybersecurity and provide them pathways to careers. I have received the application and budget projection template to fill out. I am looking for partnerships and potential donors. I am also looking for anyone who would be willing to join an advisor board. Please share if you think of anyone who would be interested in either!

Ein Jammer, dass man über die zwielichtigen Machenschaften der Union, inkl fahrlässige Naturzerstörung aus Machtkalkül, nicht in der Freizeit Revue oder sowas lesen kann. Ich denke Mio old school Rentner*innen würden Ihrer Stammpartei am 9.6. den Laufpass geben. https://taz.de/Agrarlobby-gegen-Naturschutz/!6012538/
